“I’ve gotten to see all the Cullen cars, and that was pretty cool. I didn’t see mine yet. I think Dr. Cullen’s car is kinda badass. It’s a Mercedes, and Jackson [Rathbone, who plays Jasper] and I were sitting in it and were like, ‘He got the good end of the deal!'”

That interview just made my look on her as Alice a lot better. I didn’t have a problem with her before, but now I’m really excited about it. She seems like she really likes her part and really wants to do a good job.

Haha I was the first comment on Ashley’s article! Score! I was kind of worried when she said the fight scene was going to be different, but if they keep most of the novel in the script, then I won’t be too sad!

I was more mad about what they said about Alice. I mean really, the fans will find just about ANYTHING to pick at the actors. When I first found out who was cast, Ashley as Alice was my favorite. And yet people are still being nit-picky about her hair and height? They made Xerxes look two feet taller than Leonidas in 300, when the actors were the same height in real life! Movie magic can do everything. As for the hair? If Ashley can evoke Alice through her performance, who really CARES about the hair right?

i’m so excited she’s alice. the blog link doesn’t work for me either though. i like that we can follow it like this and see the changes as they’re happening, rather than being super surprised when we see the movie.

YEY!
Hey,who are these”online haters”they speak of?!
HOW RUDE!!!
I love her as Alice,and honestley,really,people her age aren’t 4’10”,at least no actresses are.
I loved her story of how she read the books,it was cute!
This is kina off the subject,but Ineed some help.
I’ve been triyng to get my ma to read these books,but she’s convinced that sinc there is vampires in it,that it won’t be good.I have tried EVERYTHING,but it doesn’t work!
Any advice?

I love reading little tidbits and sneak peaks into the movie. I had a roommate who was 4’11”, you can’t believe how incredibly short that is, and I haven’t met an adult that short since, and it’s been well over ten years! I think the portrayal is more important than exact detail.
Talk of the script being a bit different than the book don’t bother me. A movie of mostly Bella’s thoughts would be boring. There was no fight scene in the book, so I am thrilled that we get to see Edward and his brothers give James what he deserves!

I like Ashley but i was a little offended when she said…
who is 4 foot 10 anyways?…uh,I am, I was in high school about 14 yrs. ago and still am,and I am a mother of 3.
Lots of people in the world are short.
anyways…she said also about her hair that they also have to work on whats looks good on her…please…she is so pretty that she would look good with a shaved head. I have more problem that her hair isn’t black. oh well…i’m not sulking over it or anything though. Its funny cause in high chool i was Alices height and had short pixie like hair,black.
I hope the movie isnt to different than the book….but i still believe they know what they are doing and have reason for it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree..I was a slight bit miffed by the height comment she made! Although I don’t think she meant it in a mean way..YES..there are actually people that are THAT short out there..I happen to be one of them at 4’10.5″ and I’m 16!
It’s not as uncommon as some people might think, and YES, there are even some actress that are that short. Ever seen Hairspray?? Nikki Blonsky..or Christen Chenoweth? Or even Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are both rumored to be under 5’!

I’m sure she is just a bit defensive about the height thing since its the major negative she’s gotten. Althogh my sister is 4’11! so its not uncommon. It IS uncommon in the acting world though

I wish they wouldnt ask her about and constantly quote the negative comments. I mean.. they have to hear it and read it enough.. why make them publically respond to it? I think thats pretty crappy of them…. focus on something else!

I think the whole height thing is a little silly. I can imagine her getting defensive about it, like Kat said, and I’m sure she didn’t mean it as a personal attack on people that are around 4’10”. I personally don’t know anyone that height.

I think she has just the right features for Alice. It’s not like she’s exactly how I imagined her, bet she’s better than other people who were rumored. Plus, she seems really into it.

Also, I’m glad they’re changing it up. That’s part of the reason why I’m so excited to see it. I really want to see what they’re going to do it differently. I’m looking forward to the action

I don’t get why MTV focuses on the negatives and a lot of the fans are being called haters… I thought that compared to the other actors, she looked pretty short. Why can’t the actors be interviewed by the lexicon more and MTV less?

I was a little offended when she said “who is 4 foot 10 anyways?” I know a lot of poeple of are under 5 foot, myself included here, I’m 4″11 and 16. I don’t think Ashley meant to offended anyone, but there’s a lot of poeple who are short.
However, I still think Ashley will make a good Alice.

I think Ashley will make a great Alice! =) She, just like the other actors we have heard from, seems to be really into her part and intent on doing things right, and that makes me even more excited for the movie.

That was one great interview! I love Ashley as Alice. She’s the only actress I’ve ever seen that I thought “OMG, it’s Alice Cullen.” Rachel Leigh Cook never did it for me. And I don’t get all the hater saying stuff about her height and her hair, she makes a great point in the interview about the hair having to look good with her face, Ashley’s a real person, and Alice is not, would you really want an Alice that had hair that didn’t look good on her? I wouldn’t.

Twilightfan and others…
are you serious? her hair having to look good on her?
uh… have you seen her face? she is BEAUTIFUL she could pull off a mullet if she wanted too…give me a break!
I still think she would look even better with short BLACK pixie cut hair then the wig she is wearing…I think the wig actually looks kind of awful..if they are going to put one on her they should make it look better. Oh well i have said my peace about the hair an wont mention it any more.
OH… AND ONE MORE THING
JADA PINKETT SMITH…4’11”
NIKKI BLONSKI…4’10”
MARY KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN UNDER 5 FT
and at least two of my friends including me that are around 32 yrs old once again 4’10-11″
and they are very cute!
I understand though that it would have been hard to find someone actually really that height for the role of Alice though…I think Ashley will do a GREAT job….hmmmm
they could have called me for the role, hee hee, all my friends say I look the part,or did in high school, oh well..

I definitely think it is better for them to find an actress that can embody Alice’s characteristics than worry about her height and hair length. I think too many people are getting too revved up about the differences that ARE GOING TO HAPPEN between the book and the movie. We should really all just be thankful that this project is taking place and the individuals working on it are so dedicated to making it great.

My husband is an actor and when I showed him some of the clips and talked to him about the differences he talked to me forever about how the difference between a written medium and filmed medium is so huge that they will never be able to match it exactly and if they did the movie wouldn’t be that good.

Alexis,
I am assuming that the fight scene that they are talking about is the one that has to do with James in the ballet studio when Rob,Emmet and Jsper show up..in the book it doesnt say much of what happens cause Bella blacks out off and on…but I HOPE they incorperate more of what happens during her black outs into the movie so we can see it!!!
OH and one more thing…but this is just MY personal opinion,
I personally believe that if you are a serious and dedicated actor OR actress then you will do WHATEVER is desired for the role of character you will be portraying…if it’s gaining 200 pounds,or shaving your head..if the role asks for it,Didn’t Natalie portman shave her head for V for Vendetta?
I am not dissing the actors for Twilight at all
I LOVE THEM ALL(especially ROBERT) Thats just my opinion for any actress or actor if they are serious enough about there career.

Ashley Greene will make a great Alice!! Even if her hair is not exactly how its described in the book.

I dont remeber any fight scenes in Twilight, but I am absolutely happy that they are putting one!! I really dont mind as long they dont change the movie completely. It’ll make the movie more actiony!! The more violence, the better!! Bring on the violence!!

I LIKE Ashley…and I DONT CARE that she didnt cut her hair,and I believe she is serious about what she does..I was just thinking that I think she would look better with short pixie like hair just in real life for her average every day look. ‘m not sulking that they dont have it exactly like the book..I’m not lame like that. I’m just happy they are making the movie!!! Besides…I will always be able to imagine the characters the way I want them when i read…thats even better, I will alwasy have that.
So I HOPE I cleared up that I AM NOT BASHING AT ALL…
I have ALOT of Faith and confidence in ALL of the Actors chosen and the people making and directing the film.
I will try to explain better for future comments, I hope I didn’t offend anyone,that was my last intention.
